After confirming that there were no more merits to be earned in Yong'an City, the remaining monster hunters quickly evacuated the place.
After five days of recuperation, Jiang Chengyun had recovered a little.
Deng Jianyuan prepared a carriage for him, and respectfully sent him and his family members on the official road back to Qingzhou City.
Watching the carriage go away, the old man turned around with some emotion. Compared to Jiang Chengyun who looked at him with contempt, he actually wanted to treat the young man well.
It's a pity that the other party left in such a hurry. Calculating the time, he might have already left Tingyang County by now.
There is not a clear boundary between the twelve counties of Qingzhou and the territory of the demon clan.
There are many "no man's land" areas in it.
At this moment, in a gloomy and dark forest, an agile shadow suddenly jumped down from the treetops.
The three-foot ceremonial sword swept past casually, splashing a handful of blood.
Shen Yi sheathed his sword, stepped over the heads on the ground, killed a clever little demon, and gained more than sixty years of demon life.
"Actually, you don't have to do this. You want me to feel that this mountain king's aura is worth it."
Xiao Qiangwei changed into a simple blue shirt and washed off her heavy makeup. She no longer had the worldly air of before, but her delicate facial features were still slightly charming.
She looked at the young man speechlessly. This was the third time this happened on the road.
He was injured while walking, and although he tried his best to conceal it, his disordered breath still inevitably leaked out.
What Xiao Qiangwei couldn't understand was why the other party, who wasn't injured, also concealed his presence so tightly and even walked behind her on purpose, not even bothering to do so...
Shen Yi glanced at her, still with no intention of withdrawing the Turtle Breathing Technique.
No matter how small a piece of meat is, it is still meat. If you happen to meet someone who knows its value, you might be able to get something even bigger.
I'm just sitting around doing nothing.
I learned this method from this group of monster hunters.
"It's almost there."
Xiao Qiangwei really didn't want to have more blood on her body, so she took the initiative to walk up to the young man and said, "You may not have been to the Demon Suppression Division before. There are almost no big monsters in a place like this guarded by a general. It's not that we are afraid of them, but the monsters they are guarding are the overlords of a region, so how can they allow other monsters to set foot there."
"Liu Bin has a bad temper. Don't worry about it later. I'll just chat with him."
"Um."
Shen Yi nodded his chin slightly. Compared with his personal generals, he was more interested in the demons guarding this place.
Xiao Qiangwei walked out of the dense forest with ease, and suddenly there was a row of wooden buildings in front of her. Several captains wearing black shirts with cloud patterns were warming themselves around a campfire.
She slowly stopped and reminded everyone, "I am here to deliver a letter to General Liu under the order of General You. Please inform them."
Shen Yi thought the matter was over here, but what surprised him was that the captains did not even raise their heads and said slowly: "Monster hunter? General Liu has ordered that Black Rock Lake does not accept monster hunters. No one will see them."
This kind of neat response is obviously not the first time.
Xiao Qiangwei's eyes flashed with coldness: "Once he claimed to be sick, twice he went out, now General You invited me here, and now he says he doesn't want to see the demon catcher. Please tell General Liu for me that there should be a limit to taking advantage of your age."
There was a hint of sharpness in her voice: "General You, please respect his age and treat him with courtesy, but don't forget the distinction between superiors and subordinates."
Shen Yi stood with his hands hanging down, feeling somewhat confused.
Even if the Demon Suppression Division and the monster catchers are not in the same system, a captain who is not even in the Jade Liquid Realm would not dare to be so cold to a monster catcher in the Condensation Pill Realm. The captains in Qingzhou City do not have such arrogance.
"General Liu said that he will not accept demon hunters."
Several lieutenants slowly stood up and drew their swords: "Of course, since you have a high level of cultivation, you can also try to force your way into the Black Rock Pool. Please go ahead."
As the words came out, three lieutenants with hundreds of captains walked out of the house with weapons in hand, blocking the way ahead with cold eyes.
"Black Rock Pool is a forbidden area. Without General You's order, anyone who trespasses will be considered a demon!"
Looking at the shining steel knives, Xiao Qiangwei finally smiled and walked forward: "I don't have a handwritten order, only a letter to General Liu, but... I want to see how you regard me as a demon."
Obviously, even monster hunters who have been dealing with monsters for years have bottom lines that cannot be crossed.
Even the most powerful lieutenant among them was only at the Jade Liquid Perfection Realm, but when they saw Xiao Qiangwei approaching, there was no hesitation on their faces and they raised their swords in an instant.
This is the difference between a personal attendant and an ordinary demon-suppressing servant.
They only obeyed the orders of one person, and that was Liu Bin who was guarding this place.
In an instant, a cold steel spear broke through the air and pierced exactly three inches in front of Xiao Qiangwei.
A hoarse voice came from inside the room.
"Liu has been guarding this place for many years. You are the first one who dares to break in."
"General You has something to ask me, so he has other followers to bring the letter. As a demon hunter, do you have the qualifications to interfere in the affairs of my Demon Suppression Division?"
As he spoke, a tall figure pushed the door open and walked out. He had white hair, a beard that hung down to his chest, and a golden dragon pattern on his collar.
He was wearing a ferocious wolf cloak and his eyes showed the spirit of a veteran.
He walked to Xiao Qiangwei without haste, pulled out the fine steel spear, and looked down at the woman: "If you were in your prime, you would still be qualified to fight with me. Now that you are here injured, don't lose your life."
Xiao Qiangwei gritted her teeth and took out the envelope from the silver bell: "According to the rules, you have been absent from reporting three times. General You gave you face and did not suspect that you were colluding with the demons. You must take a look at this letter."
"My eyes are dim and I have no interest in reading letters sent by unidentified people. I can't tell whether they are real or fake."
Liu Bin turned around slowly and said coldly, "Take your people and get out."
This cold rebuke completely tore the relationship apart, and hundreds of demon-suppressing captains pointed their blades at Xiao Qiangwei.
The woman took a deep breath.
He glanced at the young man behind him and said, "You promised to escort me to deliver the secret letter to him. Does that still count now?"
Shen Yi looked at the officers from the Demon Suppression Division calmly.
He was not interested in Liu Bin, nor in the letter sent by Xiao Qiangwei, but he was very interested in colluding with demons.
The unexpected gains that were expected earlier actually fell on a group of colleagues.
Shen Yi took a step forward casually and responded softly: "It counts."
The simple conversation between the two finally made the faces of the captains change suddenly. They had never expected that the two demon hunters would dare to break into the place guarded by the personal generals?!
In this place, Liu Bin bears all responsibilities and has the greatest power. He can fully represent the Qingzhou Demon Suppression Division.
"How brave!"
Amidst the shouts, Liu Bin suddenly turned around and thrust his sharp spear at him. Xiao Qiangwei endured the pain and did not slow down at all. She easily avoided the spear tip and slammed the spear with both palms with great force.
The two of them actually used their full strength at the same time. They were clearly both members of the imperial court, but they fought to the death as soon as they attacked!
The two forces converged on the fine steel spear at the same time. Liu Bin followed the trend and stabbed the deviated spear tip straight at the young man behind him!
The silver light was like a white dragon emerging from a stream, piercing the eyes, and the shriek was deafening!
